Semi-automated notification of duplicate log entries

Thu, 21 Apr 2016 08:46:29 +0000

Hello!

I have a lot of duplicate log entries for my own geocaches. That is mostly due to the location where they are hidden. Mobile data connectivity is rather bad in some places in the Austrian alps. ;-)

Now - usually I write to the finder and ask him to remove one of the duplicate log entries, but now there are so many bad logs that I rather ask you for a semi-automated notification system. I rather spend my time creating new creative geocaches than contacting all finders who produced duplicates.

What I have in mind is a button on the "Find Bad Logs" page which (when clicked) sends a message to all finders who produces duplicate log entries. The message text should be customizable by the owner and should contain the GC-code of the cache affected in the subject and/or body of the message.

What do you think about this idea?

Kind regards,
Christian

I used the feature "find bad logs" and deleted my entries of two caches which are now "archived". However there is still one cache which appears in "my bad logs", although i deleted my second log. That was some weeks ago. What's the problem there? Thanks for your help and greetings from Austria!
